Detectives have arrested a fourth boy in connection with their investigation into a serious assault in Chandler’s Ford.
The 16-year-old from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Police have also been granted an extension at court, giving them an additional 36 hours to question a 16-year-old and 17-year-old, both from Southampton.
The pair were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Monday morning (2 November).
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy from Bristol also remains in police custody, having been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Monday night.
The investigation was launched after five boys, who had been invited to a supervised party at an address in Park Road, were stabbed just after 10.30pm on Saturday.
It was established by officers at the scene that an uninvited group had jumped a fence in the garden, before seriously assaulting the victims, three who are aged 16 and two aged 17, there and in surrounding streets.
Four of the boys suffered serious injuries and have now been discharged from hospital. The fifth, aged 17, does remain in hospital in a life-threatening condition.
As part of our ongoing enquiries, officers have carried out searches at three addresses linked to those arrested, two in Southampton and one in Bristol.
